Re:Nature of object orientation

....and I would have picked a combination of ##1 and 2. I would probably approach such a situation with a mix of irritation and concern, with a little caution mixed in.

Does your last post mean that it's up to women to contain the violence by men? Do your findings mean that women are less likely to try to change a situation, to remain in the back seat? Tell me if I misinterpreted that, but that sounds pretty sexist, for both genders.

That's what domestic violence victims try to do; contain the anger, as in cajole, placate, avoid, surrender. On that same note, I have to wonder about the assertion that women tend to just accept the situation as it is, as in, be totally passive.

It doesn't speak very highly of men, either, as if they're all responsible for violence in society. While it's a statistic fact that 90% of batterers are men, and the majority of convicted felons is men, it isn't fair to paint the genders with a broad brush.
